Itâs a really nice place but wasnât as clean as advertised. There were black hairs all over the coffee table and also small black hairs in the sheets of the master bed. There were also stains on the sheets and the sofa. Thank you
We had a very pleasant stay and enjoyed our time at Lake Marion! Loved it!
Pros:
1. Boat Landing around corner.. Covered shed in back of property. Bring long extension cord to plug up on back porch. No lighting in shed though.
2. House was clean and fully stocked with items you would need to cook. Had a great AC unit to keep you very cool. Plenty of towels/wash clothes etc, very beautiful decor and we loved the reclaimed wood floors, modern appliances to meet all of your needs, toys/books/games for kids, washing machine/dryer on premises located in back room, beds were very comfortable and also set of built in bunk beds if needed. No dressers but storage is under bed and in nightstands plus closet space. Overall very nice place and had a lot of pros to our stay. Host were excellent!
Cons:
Antique claw foot tub: Does not exist updated to modern shower tub combo
TV- Roku but no Direct Tv
Fridge: ice maker does not work so bring bag of ice. But it worked very well and was very clean
Dryer: it worked but it does not work right for every cycle. I had to put on timed dryer to get to dry clothes more than 3 mins.
Vanity in bathroom: top drawer did not work right but bottom one did so we used it
Doors for bathroom: needs to be updated they roll and would not stay on tract. Host tried to help us so please donât think they didnât. We offered to fix it ourselves but couldnt get it to do right.
Boat landing: ignore rude old man who lives in tan house.
Very nice renovated older home that we fell in love with,, great neighborhood, great location and even better owners!! We are definitely looking forward to our next visit
When we pulled up to the property our hearts sank because it looked dismal. We spent the next 3 days cleaning. It really needs a deep cleaning. We had to request silverware, cups, towels, and a few other things. The Direct TV didnât work and required help from the property managers to get it online. The furniture was uncomfortable. The neighborhood was okay but the county in general is very poor and dirty. There is a great State Park near by as well as a National Park and a National Refuge Area. The lake itself has a lot of stumps to navigate around and the water is very muddy.
The house was great and the quiet neighborhood and friendly neighbors made it even better. It was nice being in a location where I didn't feel the need to lock up my vehicle or worry about my boat. The community boat ramp was very convenient too. Overall I'm very pleased with my stay at this relaxing location. My only complaint is that the weather wouldn't always cooperate with my plans of fishing the lake as much as I hoped to (which has nothing to do with the property or the owner, they were both great!) Definitely would rent again!
This property was very clean and in the perfect location for me and my family. The area was quiet and the neighbors were very friendly. Looking forward to going back very soon.
This property worked out well for us. We came to fish and we were looking for a property to only sleep in. We did not cook or use the laundry facilities. We would stay here again if we come back to Santee.
The owners clearly did a lot of work to renovate this home. It was very comfortable, neat and safe. Owners were very responsive to needs. The place was immaculate. It was also right near Lake Marion, which is what we wanted. The neighborhood is quiet and safe - on a dead end street. We brought our own food supplies as there were no restaurants around nor grocery stores, at least not what we wanted. We came prepared to be self sufficient. We had everything we needed and appreciated a nice, comfortable, safe place to stay with responsive hosts.
We enjoyed our stay at the designer lake house. I have been to the area on several other occasions and this place is by far the best house I have rented. Great location for fishing and boating. Mill Creek marina and restaurant is just a stones throw away. The neighbors were extremely friendly and the owners were very accommodating.
